Good for him. I'd imagine in Israel it probably is big news within wrestling circles and it might get a few mentions elsewhere given he's the champ) but probably not in the wider wrestling world since there have been openly gay wrestlers in the WWE

most notably Darren Young but atm Sonya Deville has been credited with being the first openly lesbian female wrestler. I would probably have said most notably Pat Patterson but although that was widely known I think he only officially came out a few years ago on WWE Legends house on the WWE Network.
